paraghraph <p> tag attributes 2

[1DMF]

Hello,

Is there a way to set the distance the <p> tag puts between paragraphs, I want to move them closer together and rather than removing the <p> and using <br /> instead I was hoping I could change the size.

thanks

Yup - use CSS:

p {
   margin: 0px 0px 10px 0px;
   padding: 0px;
}

You can change the 10px to be more or less, or even use scalable units (1em, etc).

Hope this helps,
Dan

If you specify the measurement in ems instead of px then when your text scales so will the gap between the paragraphs.

It's handy!

- thanks Jeff, I didn't really go anywhere, just been working more with PERL/SQL/MS Access side of things.

plus I resigned to the fact I'll never master semantics & CSS-positioning, so spent the last few months validating for X/HTML Transitional, rather than changing everything to DIV's for semantics, sometimes you have to accept your limits and just do the best you can.

At least everything is now valid markup and runs via templates instead of html embeded in the PERL code, That's already 1,000% better than it was, so I'm happy with that.
